  • This program, together with the Sustainability-Linked bond issues for a total amount equivalent to approximately 10.1 billion euros and an average cost of 0.5%, allowed for the achievement of a ratio between sustainable financing sources and the total gross debt of the Group equal to around 50%, at the same time reducing the cost of the Group's debt

Rome, October 5th , 2021 - Enel Finance International N.V. ("EFI"), the Dutch-registered finance company controlled by Enel S.p.A.1 ("Enel") will repurchase and subsequently cancel part of the following series of outstanding conventional bonds denominated in US dollars, following the tenders received and not validly withdrawn by the Early Expiry Date of October 4 th , 2021 provided for by the non-binding voluntary tender offer ("Tender Offer") launched last September 21st:

  • 2.00 billion US dollar bonds issued on May 22nd, 2017, maturing on May 25th, 2027 and coupon 3.625% (ISIN 144A: US29278GAA67; ISIN Reg S: USN30707AC23) ("Notes 2027");
  • 1.25 billion US dollar bonds issued on September 11th, 2018, maturing on June 14th, 2029 and coupon 4.875% (ISIN 144A: US29278GAK40; ISIN Reg S: USN30707AL22) ("Notes 2029").

The tenders received and not validly withdrawn at the Early Expiry Date amount to approximately 2.2 billion US dollars. Following said tenders, EFI accepted and will repurchase in cash conventional bonds for a total nominal amount of 1,471,703,000 US dollars ("Amended Maximum Target Amount"), therefore exercising

its right, as provided in the Tender Offer documentation, to decrease the original maximum target amount of 1,500,000,000 US dollars set at launch of the transaction.

Specifically, in line with the acceptance criteria of the Tender Offer documentation, EFI will repurchase the aggregate principal amounts tendered across its Notes 2027 and Notes 2029. Therefore, EFI has not accepted any offer in connection with its 1.25 billion US dollar bonds issued on October 3rd, 2017, maturing on April 6th, 2028 and coupon 3.500% (ISIN 144A: US29278GAF54; ISIN Reg S: USN30707AG37), that had been initially included in the Tender Offer.

Having reached the Amended Maximum Target Amount, EFI does not expect to accept any additional offers that may be received until the expiry of the Tender Offer, scheduled for October 19th, 2021 at 11:59 pm New York City time (Expiration Date).

The successful result of the Tender Offer concludes the 2021 program aimed at repurchasing EFI conventional bonds, which had an average cost of 1.5%, with the program having an overall amount equivalent to approximately 7.6 billion euros.

The program, together with the Sustainability-Linked bond issues for a total amount equivalent to approximately 10.1 billion euros and an average cost of 0.5%, has further accelerated the achievement of the Group's targets of sustainable financing sources on total gross debt, set to 48% in 2023 and more than 70% in 2030, and currently equal to around 50%, simultaneously reducing the cost of the Group's debt.
